Your Top Favorite Mac Apps

I use Newsfire till 2 days, it's a really good rss reader, it's freeware, with a good interface

http://www.newsfirerss.com/

anyone know of a good freeware tabbed text editor? BBEdit seems a little expensive for my purposes!

You can check out xPad, it's not freeware but it's only $10.

Dont know if you've found one yet, but TextWrangler is an amazing text editor... its bbedit's little brother. from the same company

I am shocked. Did noone mention SubEthaEdit yet?

I use this all day. Love it. It needs me and I need it. I just can't go without it.

very fast, btw there is a eMule for Mac OS ?l

edonkey2000 has a mac version (still in beta) found here (scroll down till you see the macosx GUI version)*

*in no way am I advocating p2p software or its use.

No one has mentioned RapidWeaver yet?

Its for ppl (like me) who can't afford Dreamweaver.

Nice and easy to use!

I just discovered you control: desktops. Excellent virtual desktop software. Cool transition effects. Check it out here.

Well, now that we come back to this thread, let me just say something:

Quicksilver is one of the most complete/useful apps i have ever encountered. I was a butler fanboy once, but after trying QS for a while, there is no going back.

You can launch apps, search for files, control itunes, virutally anything (even browse your mac from the summoned QS window)

EDIT:

Does anyone know of an app that will force every single URL click systemwide to open windows in new tabs instead of new windows? - it annoys the hell out of me to click on an email link and go to a new window.

some fun stuff for tiger. http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macgems/

#284580

Seph,

Safari -> prefs -> General ->

at the bottom is the option "open links from applications in...". Choose "Tabs"

#284587

Yeah; I have that set. It still gets overriden by some links - no idea what causes it :slant:

#284591

seXXI mentioned a program called Tag in reference to PHP coding and previewing. Does anybody know where to find this, I have tried VersionTraker and Google (along with other engines), but I can't find it.

Edit: I knew once I opened my mouth I would find it. Here is the link.

I would also like to add:

I'd like to recommend SilverKeeper as a good backup app.

It's freeware and made by LaCie to backup to external HDDs (it'll work with any brand). It's small and simple and does the job nicely.

#284640

Seph, I've had no problems with new browser windows instead of tabs after getting Saft.

#285443

Thats the thing - i even have Saft installed, maybe a preference file issue is conflicting with the feature

#285556

Camera Helper is a terrific freeware utility for automatically importing files (image, audio, video, etc) off your digicam. Just connect your camera and bingo, files imported / app of choice launched.

Once the files on your local HD, Renamer4Mac handles batch renaming with incredible versatility and ease of use.

You WILL be happy.

It is very cool. I just downloaded it to try out for the 15 days, but I have a problem. The second time I launched it, it switched to the Play desktop, crashed all apps except the Finder (Which it gathered onto the Play desktop leaving the Work DT empty), and then when I switched back to Work, it crashed the Finder...

WTF? It's such a cool app. The best implementation I've seen of Multiple Desktops yet, but it didn't seem to like me.

I'll see how it performs when I reboot.
